The last time Just Collect was at The National in Chicago, we got to sit down with Derek Jeter and talk about card collecting. A few special guests stopped by our booth including former NBA star, Jalen Rose, and Fanatics Owner, Michael Rubin. We can't wait to see what 2025 brings! We'll be buying collections and offering the finest vintage cards in the world for sale. If you're looking to sell a card or a collection, we'd love to meet you and offer you a FREE appraisal! If you're looking to purchase rare Babe Ruth cards, a Mickey Mantle card, or Michael Jordan rookie we'll have the best available. We even have select modern cards including our high-end Aaron Judge collection! 

Get your tickets to the National on December 2nd, and we'll see YOU in Chicago at the Just Collect booth!

  • Travel to Us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here

  • Come to convention

We keep a LIST of card shows we'll be attending.  Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.

If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!  

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.

CONTACT US ANY TIME

Whether you have vintage cards or modern wax you want to sell, you can reach out to us any time!
